Inspiration


Oh how you come in many forms

Coming in and out like phases

Not knowing 

what I’ll settle on next

Now knowing 

how long you’ll stay or be gone

Not knowing

 if I do stuff because I care 

or because I have to

 

Oh how you come in many forms

One moment

You’re my empowerment

My hope

My future

 

Another

Gone

Fleeting

Fake

 

Oh how you come in many forms

Please stay

Just to get me through this day

This world will be okay

It’s beauty so mesmerizingly mournful

 

Protect

That’s what I want to do

Save this planet

Deal with this issue

 

Oh how you come in many forms

Please stay

Just to get me through this day

People, oh how they put me in a daze

 

My leaders

Identity-rooted

Self-less

Bold

Constantly maturing 

In this journey

 

What they are for me

I want to be

For someone else

Please

I want to see 

What they see in me

 

Oh how you come in many forms

Expression and creativity

Stunning

Characters, photos, sounds

Develop and improve

 

The feelings conveyed

How must I say

Don’t know, just hope

You’ll come my way

And stay

strong and more marvelous than ever
